Oracle 10g xe installation on Jaunty server problem

[deepakdeshp]

Hi,
My architecture is AMD and I installed the Oracle 10g Xe 386 .deb package with dpkg -i --force-architecture command.

Then I did oracle-xe configure to for configuring Oracl.

Oracle does not start and gives error 27. What am I doing wrong?
Where can I see the installation log?

Hi

Maybe you did not install all needed packages.
Check this guide if it helps you

Hi,
I have followed the instructions as per the link given by you. The error remains as:-
oracleXE: error while loading shared libraries: libaio.so.1:

Installed the following packages.

l
ibc6-i386
libaio_0.3.104-1_i386.deb
bc
oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386.deb.

The Oracle processes do not start . I am also not able to connect to localhost:8081/apex (8081 is the configured port instead of the default 8080).
When I run sqlplus the error is

oracleXE: error while loading shared libraries: libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ERROR:
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact

I am able to connect to the listener at port 1521 with tnsping.

dpkg -l |grep libaio gives the following:

ii libaio1 0.3.107-3ubuntu1 Linux kernel AIO access library - shared lib

I have just done this for Oracle 10 on Ubuntu server 64 bit.

I wrote extensive instructions here

Hi all,

I have found out the problem. I had edited the /etc/hosts file and I was not getting output for the following commands:-

$hostname --fqdn
$hostname -a
$hostname -f

I fixed the hosts file so that I can get output for the 3 commands. After this I am able to start Orcale

But again /etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop does not stop Oracle .
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe start doesnt start Oracle.
Only /etc/init.d/oracle-xe restart works and Oracle starts runnig after the restart command. Any ideas why this may be happening?

Regards,
Deepak

I found out that de variable "$ORACLE_DBENABLED" blocks the start en stop function.
This variable will only be set to true in case you have choosen to startup the database at boot-time.

Excerpt from the oracle-xe shell script reveals:

if test "$ORACLE_DBENABLED" != "true"
then
exit 0
fi

I replaced this for both stop and start function:

if [ 1 = 2 ] #test "$ORACLE_DBENABLED" != "true"
then
exit 0
fi

Works fine for me now.
